About Hand Mentor

Hand Mentor teaches you the correct finger placement for touch typing with real-time voice guidance. The easiest way to learn to type from scratch — free on TypingLearn.

How to Play

  • Start your training with selecting the particular part of the keyboard to play – Home Row, Top Row, Bottom Row, or All Rows.
  • Follow the instructions of the 'Virtual Coach' voice assistant for finger placement and movements.
  • Look at the keyboard on the screen; the next key will be marked, as well as the finger you need to use.
  • Type the given characters correctly, paying attention to your technique; your mistakes will be immediately shown to you.
  • Pay attention to the spoken corrections if you press the wrong key; they'll help you make improvements right away.
  • Finish the lesson to see your WPM and Accuracy and continue playing to develop muscle memory.

Pro Tips

  • Remember that using the correct finger is much more important than your typing speed; Hand Mentor will teach you the technique of correct finger usage.
  • Focus on the 'Finger Guide', not on your fingers; it was made in such a way to teach you 'blind' typing technique.
  • Use subtitles of the voice assistant to understand what it says better; they appear above the keyboard on the screen.
  • Do the 'Home Row' lesson until you reach 100% accuracy and only then continue with the more difficult Top and Bottom rows lessons.
  • Don't forget to take breaks as the technique training takes a lot of effort and attention to mind.
